During the PT portion of the Smarter Balanced and CAST assessments:

  • There are no pause restrictions. If a PT is paused for more than 20 minutes, the student can return to the section and continue to enter responses.
  • For the mathematics PT, any highlighted text and notes on the digital notepad will not be saved when a test is paused regardless of how long the assessment is paused.
  • For the ELA PT, the global notes are retained for both parts 1 and 2.
  • Any highlighted text and notes within the global notes will be saved when a test is paused regardless of how long the assessment is paused.
  • In the event of a technical issue (for example, power outage or network failure), comments entered on the global notes—the tool used during ELA PTs in which students complete a full write, as well as for any other test items within the PT—will be available when the student has logged back on and resumed.
